The Importance of Authenticity and Self-Knowledge
Authenticity and self-knowledge are crucial for understanding oneself. Being inauthentic for an extended period can lead to losing touch with one's true identity. Small decisions, like going out when you don't want to or engaging in activities without considering their impact, can contribute to this loss. Existential therapy, rooted in philosophy, approaches human suffering by recognizing individual free will, the need for meaning, and determining one's future. Early life experiences can shape a person's inclination towards existentialism and the search for purpose. Exploring existentialism can help people find resonance and answer the big questions about their own existence.
